A Good Move

We hear from many OF our citizens
commendatory words for the prompt and
vigorous action of Governor Bodwell in
the arrest of Michael Burns of Augusta
who claimed the right under the t. S.
law to sell liquors in original packages.
He believes that this plan is has ed on
"a perverted and wholly unwarranted
construction" of United States supreme
court decision; and so believing he prop
erly takes the course necessary to bring
about final determination of the ques-
ton. The decision referred to is an old
one. Massachusetts Rhode Island and
Connecticut were joined in the case and
Daniel Webster was one OF the counsel.
These States had passed restrictive liquor
laws A dealer sought to eyade the law
by importing liquors in the original pack
ages. Nearly every justice gave an opin-
ion, and these opinions occupy more than
a hundred pages in the court reports.
The weight of opinion was, that so long
as the liquor was retained in the original
package it remained an article of com
merce and could be imported. But the
court made a reservation 1t was poSs'-
Bile, even then, that if State should de-
eide that ii was unwholesome or injurious
to the health of its citizens for liquor to
be sold, the sale might be prohibited but
to impose a tax upon it so long as it was
ri 6 int
put an additional duty on it, and was
therefore unconstitutional The lam
guage is not very clear, but the sense
may fairly be construed to be that State
may prohibit the sale of imported liquor,
after all. So long, however, as the de-
cision is open to a double construction it
is not final. Coincident with the action
taken at Augusta comes the answer of
Secretary Fairchild to a request for
ruling by the treasury department on this
same question. Secretary Fairchld says
that undoubtedly the State laws cannot
prevent the importation of liquors into
the custom house. Further than that the
secretary has nothing to say.
1t is very important to have this point
judicially decided at as early day as pos.
sible and Governor Bodwell does well to
take the initiative step to bring this
about

In black and white-luminous black eyes and
white pantalettes. She was given a round Of
applause on her appearance, and she was al.
most as self confident as she is now. Her
singing was phenomenal, and she created an
extraordinary sensation, starting her at once
upon her career as the greatest singer of her
age. arranged for a series of concerts in
Baltimore. The first night there were about
hundred persons In the house; the second
twice as many; the sixth concert was given
before an audience Of 2,0O0 people, and the
enthusiasm was unbounded. Even in these
early days Patti was just as capricious and
self willed as she has always been. One day
